The Single Most Important Ingredient for Business Success

The first and most important thing you need to acquire in order to succeed in a small business is... knowledge.

Sounds exaggerated? Listen to this...

According to research conducted by Dun & Bradstreet, 90% of all small business failures can be traced to poor management resulting from lack of knowledge.

This is backed up by my own personal observations. In my 31 years as a business coach and consultant to small businesses, I've seen practically dozens of small business owners go under and lose their businesses -- not because they weren't talented or smart enough -- but because they were trying to re-invent the wheel rather than rely on proven, tested methods that work.

Conclusion: if you are really serious about succeeding in a business... If you want to avoid the common traps and mistakes... it is absolutely imperative that you acquire the right knowledge.

"Why Invent Mediocrity, When You Can Copy Genius?"

That's an excellent quote I picked up from a fellow business owner a few years back. What this means is that you should see what is working and try to duplicate it. Why go through all the trouble of inventing something new, that you don't even know will ever work, when you can easily learn from and duplicate something that has been a proven success?

[ Note: One of the BIGGEST mistakes almost all new businesses make is that they WASTE tons of valuable time, energy and money on trying to create something "new", that has never been tested or proven... only to find out later that it was a total loss. Don't make the same mistake! ]

Success Tip: Setting Goals

Good management is the key to success and good management starts with setting goals. Set goals for yourself for the accomplishment of the many tasks necessary in starting and managing your business successfully. Be specific. Write down the goals in measurable terms of performance. Break major goals down into sub-goals, showing what you expect to achieve in the next two to three months, the next six months, the next year, and the next five years. Beside each goal and sub-goal place a specific date showing when it is to be achieved.

Plan the action you must take to attain the goals. While the effort required to reach each sub-goal should be great enough to challenge you, it should not be so great or unreasonable as to discourage you. Do not plan to reach too many goals all at one time.

Establish priorities. Plan in advance how to measure results so you can know exactly how well you are doing. This is what is meant by "measurable" goals. If you can’t keep score as you go along you are likely to lose motivation. Re-work your plan of action to allow for obstacles which may stand in your way. Try to foresee obstacles and plan ways to avert or minimize them.

Here's a Sample 'Executive Summary' for a Bed and Breakfast Business plan:

Introduction
[Company Name] is two bed & breakfast houses located in the heart of Napa Valley.  The company operates from [Address, City, State  ZIP]. Each historical house is built in the late 19th century, with five charmingly decorated rooms geared to provide luxurious hospitality at its finest. 

  • The 1872 Victorian Style Ambrose Bierce House
  • The Shady Oaks Country Inn on 2 acres land


The Market

The Napa Valley is one of California's number one vacation destination locations.  A statistical report shows that 2.75 million overnight trips were made to this area with bed and breakfast reflecting an annual revenue income of $40 million.  60.9% of travelers are over the age of 45 with an average income of over $100,000 per year.  The total economic impact of visitors to Napa County was $1.3 billion in 2005.

The Management Team

[Name], a husband and wife team has managed these two Inns for over twenty-four years showing a steady income growth over the years.  Their expertise in hospitality totals over 60 years combined and is a direct reflection of their word to mouth marketing strategy.  Community leadership and local annual donations are just a few aspects [Name] and [Name] pride themselves with.  Local wineries will recommend the Inns to their customers which almost always lead to repeat visitors to St. Helena.

The Company

With ten rooms over two properties, the owners have a solid income stream and a 10% market share to this area.  Adding additional marketing will draw new and existing customers for this tourist attraction.  Renovating, remodeling, and adding rooms will help local vendors with their business.


[Company Name]is committed to participate in reviving the economy and return the sales to the heart of the Napa Valley.  These opportunities will ensure a strong competitive edge to other bed and breakfasts and at the same time implement a long-term revenue stream.

The Request

An immediate grant in the amount of $250,000 will allow to
Increase Marketing Efforts - $60,000

  • Renovate and upgrade existing rooms - $119,000
  • Add two rooms - $71,000

A second grant one year later in the amount of $100,000 would allow to

  • Add three more rooms - $100,000

This capital injection will create jobs, labor work, and additional reservation count.  With an average annual capacity of 43% - 47%, the added rooms would generate a new revenue stream of an additional 33% to the Inns.  Projecting only 30% of capacity for the FY 2011 and 2012 would yield an additional income of $127,567.  As the highlights reflect, sales could reach over $500,000 by year three from receipt of capital.
This additional income and the projected gross profits will support the overall efforts in hiring a total of five more employees over the next three years.

 

1.1 Objectives

The [Company Name]s’ concept for this business plan is to obtain an immediate capital injection in the amount of $250,000 to address the following areas needed for the Inns and a second injection of $100,000 one year thereafter to add three additional rooms.

Realizing these objectives will boost the revenue streams, add jobs to the community, and inject labor jobs for a period of three years for the renovation, remodeling, and addition projects. 

  • Marketing - $60,000
    • Paid search engine listing to reach a higher presence on the internet “hit” rate
    • Upgrade websites
    • Produce direct mailers to existing and new customers
    • Create e-blast e-mail advertisements
    • Produce brochures and pamphlets for local advertisement

  • Remodel and Upgrade existing rooms - $119,000
    • Replace carpets
    • Upgrade bathrooms and tubs (include conversion of two tubs into jetted tubs)
    • Purchase furniture and beds
    • Interior and exterior painting at Shady Oaks Country Inn
    • Add fireplaces to five rooms
    • Upgrade flooring to increase AAA rating

  • Expansion of two rooms at Ambrose Bierce House - $71,000
  • Add two rooms

  • Future Expansion of three additional rooms at Shady Oaks Country Inn - $100,000
    • Add thee rooms

1.2 Mission

The [Company Name]s’ mission is to provide luxurious and hospitable lodging at an affordable price. The goal is to give guests a wonderful Bed and breakfast experience and assist them in their Napa Valley vacation.

1.3 Keys to Success

[Company Name]keys to success for the Napa Valley bed and breakfast Inns are:

  • The great location of the Inns with access to the vineyards and wine train
  • Local presence of over 24 years in business
  • Highly recommended by local winery owners
  • Proven track record of successful profit making operation over the past 24 years
  • Community leadership and support
  • Excellent service with "personal touch" hospitality

2.0 Company Summary


The target market is adult couples between ages 24 and 75 years visiting the
Napa Valley as well as visitors arriving in St. Helena without reservations.
[Company Name]s LLC operates two bed and breakfasts in the heart of Napa Valley in St. Helena, California which are:
[Company Name]
[Company Name]


2.1 Company Ownership

[Company Name]s is a Limited Liability Corporation operated by its original owners:
[Name]
Both, [Name] and [Name] have been in the hospitality industry for more than 30 years each.


2.2 Company History

[Company Name]s LLC was formed in [Date].  [Name] have been operating these two facilities from the Napa Valley vacation destination infancy, contributing a tremendous amount of success with regards to the lodging and hospitality support. This success is reflected by the local recommendations made by vineyard owners who suggest the Inns for their overnight stay.

While the beautiful vineyards offer one of California's finest wines, it is the Inns unprecedented personal service and their charmingly decorated rooms that create the memorable experience for visitors to return and new ones to choose the Inns.

In the last 10 years, the Napa Valley wine country also attracted a more high-end wealthier clientele, making the Napa Valley a number one tourist attraction in California.  As a result of this attraction, in the past five years, the numbers of available rooms have risen.

The economic challenges of the recent 18 months have placed a financial burden on the Inns that creates a challenge for competition.  The solutions represented in this Business Plan are geared towards the reviving aspects of the visitor attraction, keeping up with the new marketing and advertising technology, and to upgrade, remodel, and add more rooms to the Inns. Both of the Inns are historical buildings constructed in the late nineteenth century and require a great deal of upkeep.

How to Manage Change Effectively

1. Start with the end in mind.

We know that navigating successfully in a world that is changing as fast as ours can be tricky at times. In fact, if we allow it to overwhelm us, change can feel extremely stressful and downright frustrating. If we're smart, however, we've learned that although we can't alter the fact of constant change, we can learn to manage our response to it. Here's a sample of how I coach my clients on managing change in their lives:

2. Accept change as a fact of life.

As human beings we are constantly in process. We never get there, our in-box is never empty, and we can't catch up with technology. Our world is changing at a pace never experienced before…indeed, change is our only constant….accept it!

3. Commit yourself to lifelong learning.

If change is constant, then learning must also be continual. As long as we are learning we're on the road to an exciting, fulfilling, meaningful life. Learning helps us feel as though we're moving with the ever-changing world. This helps to relieve our anxiety of feeling left behind. We feel better because when we're learning we are moving with the world.

4. Get healthy then stay healthy

Change, even positive change, is stressful. To keep stress from getting us, we must stay physically healthy with proper nutrition, enough rest and regular exercise.

5. Look at change as an opportunity.

Changing our attitude about change is one of our best management tools. Look for opportunities in every change in your life. Rather than digging in your heels and resisting change, allow yourself to flow with it and see where it takes you.

6. Develop and maintain a strong network and support team.

Many changes in our lives require us to lean on others for emotional support and/or advice. Have your team in place…ready to see you through the inevitable significant changes in your life.

7. Develop your spirituality.

God is the only aspect of our lives that is constant. She is the same today, tomorrow, and into infinity. This is a comforting and stabilizing thought in today's world. To have a friend, a confidante, a love who will never outgrow us, leave us, or change her behavior toward us is surely one of the greatest gifts of life.

8. Engage in rituals.

Performing a task or celebration in the same way week after week or year after year gives us a sense of stability, a feeling of being grounded, a sense of security. Even the ritual of pouring a cup of coffee before settling down to work, eating dinner as a family, having lunch at a special restaurant on Fridays, or writing daily in a journal can be significant in dealing with change. Performing rituals and celebrating holidays in a certain way, gives us the satisfaction that not everything is changing.

9. Eliminate the tolerations in your life.

Get rid of the little irritations (and sometimes big ones) that drain your energy…energy you need to manage change. A toleration can be something as simple as a missing button or as significant as a toxic person.

10. Keep a daily journal.

When change is viewed over a period of time there is more sense to it. Seeing this historical perspective of past change in our life can give us more objectivity to meet the current changes that are facing us.

11. Engage in meditation.

Being centered within yourself grounds you for the changes you're required to face every day. Take a moment to quiet your mind, your body, your soul. You'll reap the rewards of this gift you give yourself.
